All of New York is excited for New York FC’s first home match Sunday, except for those who have to share a field with the Big Apple’s new MLS franchise.

New York FC, which is partly owned by the Yankees, will host 17 home games at Yankee Stadium and already has sold 30,000 tickets for its home opener, but the boys in pinstripes who play 81 regular-season games on the same field aren’t excited about sharing their turf.

“It’ll definitely cause an issue, but it’s nothing that we can control, so we can’t worry about it,” Yankees first baseman Mark Teixeira told The Wall Street Journal. “It’s terrible for a field … Grass, dirt, everything gets messed up.”

The soccer and baseball clubs will have to share the Bronx confines for a few years while a soccer-first stadium is built somewhere in New York’s five boroughs. The grounds crew will have at least three days to convert the field from baseball to soccer and vice versa, aside from one two-day swing.

“We worked within the parameters of the Yankees, and what they felt they needed to convert the field into a soccer field and convert it back to baseball,” Chief Business Officer of NYCFC Tim Pernetti said. “Their staff, they’re the best grounds crew in the country, we’ve worked out a schedule that gives them the time they need to convert it in and out. We’re not concerned.”

Mobile lighting will be used to regrow grass in the outfield between games, while the pitchers mound is far enough away from the soccer boundaries to stay during soccer matches.

Left fielder Brett Gardner said soccer games haven’t posed a huge problem in the past, but did say the risk of injury is elevated with planting and regrowing new grass so often.

“Problem is the root system. After you put new grass down, there’s no root system, so essentially you’re running full speed on top of AstroTurf that’s sitting on top of cement,” Gardner said. “And that grass will give way, and you blow something out — knee, ankle.”
